Rest day, getting a bit jaded.
I guess quite pleased with how November has gone

CW social run with Pete and Jo from the Dog to Cold Ashton a nice running day and not too bad a pace.

CW North from the Dog, ideal crisp cold running conditions. Still finding hills 'challenging' and ran pretty hard on way back.

Good warm up

BAOC Urban race at Amesbury. A soulless set of estates possibly for nearby Boscombe Down airfield, but either an ideal place for urban and/ or good planning. Bitter day but no wind in the town and touchless emit allowed gloves. Tricky course with plenty of choices, Tried to go down alley with gate at 3 -same at 10, why bother putting on map? Big route choice 6-7 did choose a viable route but a long way round (sub-optimal) . Tiring quite badly towards end - could not see control at 21 (control blind), guy behind found it for me, but suddenly completely disorientated , followed guy whilst I sorted myself out, but slow and actually committed to poor route. Shame about the end but lack of stamina a bit of a reoccurring theme.

Social run with Ash on nice but cold morning out through top of Ashton Court and Abbotts pool and back through Leigh Woods. Quite a contrast to yesterday

Tinsel Trot -a long time since I have done a tough run. Today was cold with showers, as a precursor of what was to come the track through Rowberrow was flooded..... and both the top and the track across the bottom were very, very wet. Pushed quite hard and reached the top in 70.10 but tired on the way back. Quite pleased with the time in the conditions

Went for a walk this morning so just time for a late afternoon rather token gesture in the half light around Frenchay and Oldbury Court with a map
